Note
One spelling does two jobs here: it is the noun's plural and also the verb's present tense after he, she or it. In "a series of thuds" it is a noun; in "the trunk thuds against the wall" it is the verb, and only the sentence around it tells them apart. In dated US slang the singular named the F-105 Thunderchief jet, so Thuds could mean several of those aircraft.
